Chapter 687 – Cang Kun Relic Treasure
”Brother Nanlong, didn’t you say it wrong, going to the Curtainland Grassland?” That cold-faced cultivator asked with a frown on his face, as if he still didn’t believe the words he heard.
The other cultivators’ faces weren’t much better, but the YuanYing elder monsters sitting here, which one hadn’t gone through countless storms to get to this point, so although they were appalled in their hearts, they were still able to maintain their composure, and watched quietly to see how Nanlong Hou would answer.
”Fellow Daoist has misunderstood, when I say I want to go to the Mulan grassland, but I don’t want to go deep into the grassland, but just at the edge of a hundred miles.” Nan Long Hou explained without moving.
”That’s also something very risky. I’ve heard that the Makran people are a bit foolish again after all these years of recuperating. Now that the edge of that grassland is the truly dangerous place, I’m afraid that there are quite a lot of Fa Shi of the same rank as us, gathered as well. Although those magicians have a single treasure, but their cultivation and techniques are not below ours, and the spirit arts they are proficient in are even more powerful, and they are very good at cooperating with the enemy. In case we are discovered, even if we can escape with our lives, it will be very difficult for us to retreat in one piece.” The cold-faced cultivator shook his head and said, looking as if he was truly scornful of the matter.
”How could I not be aware of the difficulty of a Fa Shi? Back then, this Hou and a YuanYing stage Dharma warrior had fought for three days and three nights, that person’s cultivation was a step behind me, and the power of his magic treasure was far inferior to mine. But after a fight, neither of the two could help anyone.” Nan Long Hou said with a heavy face.
”Since that’s the case, and fellow Daoist still intends to go to the Mulan Grasslands, it seems like there really is something unimaginable in that place. Otherwise, Brother Nanlong wouldn’t have taken this risk.” Wang Tian Gu suddenly smiled faintly and said slowly as he leaned back.
”Haha, it’s still Brother Wang who understands this Marquis’ mind the most. Have a few of you Daoists heard of the name of ‘Cang Kun Shangren’?” Marquis Nanlong’s words turned around and uttered a name that made the crowd somewhat familiar.
”Lord Cang Kun! The Heavenly Southern Mad Cultivator who overpowered both the righteous and demonic paths five thousand years ago?” An old woman who hadn’t said anything originally was moved by these words, her cloudy eyes immediately shooting out a ray of light.
”What Mrs. Tai said is correct, it’s that madman who has caused havoc in the Orthodox and Demonic paths. Although no one has formally admitted it, this bold and crazy cultivator was definitely the number one amongst the scattered cultivators in Tiannan back then, with a profound and unfathomable aptitude that swept across Tiannan almost unrivaled. Even the Devil’s Acacia Sect Grand Elder back then, and the Alliance of the Righteous Alliance’s alliance leader, the two recognized number one men of righteousness and devilry, did not dare to say that they could win over this half-crazed maniacal cultivator by the slightest bit.” Nan Long Hou said in a deep voice with a hint of a different color on his face.
”Fellow Daoist speaking of this person at this time, could it be that this matter is related to this mad cultivator?” Wang Tian Gu asked with an odd expression on his face.
”Hehehe! What brother Wang said is very true. The place we’re going to this time is a secret cave that this Lord Cang Kun had meticulously arranged before he sat down back then.” Marquis Nanlong said gruffly.
”Impossible! Wasn’t that madman surrounded by many cultivators and killed on the spot back then because he had violated the public’s anger?” The old woman shook her head like a rattle drum and said in utter disbelief.
Nan Long Hou smiled gently at his words and was about to explain when the white-shirted old man, who was in the middle stage of YuanYing, suddenly opened his mouth, “Cang Kun Shangren was not killed back then, but was forced to blow up the two puppet avatars that he had cultivated, and then he utilized the means of concealing the sky from the sea, and took the opportunity to escape. Back then, the besieging cultivators did not know about this matter, and always thought that what they had killed was just Cang Kun Shangren and one of his avatars. However, after this battle, the Cang Kun Shangren was also greatly injured, it is difficult to recover their own heavenly aptitude. So he recuperated for a few years, then disappeared from the original cave, from then on no news. Until I and Nanlong Taoist friend found its final sitting place, only from the leftover information learned that after this superior disappeared back then, he even hit the idea of the Fallen Devil Valley, risked his life to break into this valley, and also became the first person who survived from the Fallen Devil Valley.”
”Survived from the Fallen Devil Valley! How is this possible?” The old woman shouted somewhat shrilly, her face full of excitement.
The others, with the exception of Marquis Nanlong, including Han Li, all sucked in a breath of cool air. Most of them, shocked by the astonishing nature of this news while judging the possibility of truth or falsehood, couldn’t help but look at each other for a moment.
”Even if this matter is true, what does it have to do with the Mulan Grasslands, could it be that this Lord Cang Kun really buried all of the treasures he obtained from the Fallen Demon Valley separately within the secret cave there?” The dark-faced cultivator, after pondering for a while, asked with a cold smile, seemingly rather unimpressed.
”Although Fellow Daoist Bing is not entirely right, he has guessed seven to eight. According to the information left at the place where Cang Kun Shangren was seated, he seemed to have stayed in the Fallen Devil Valley for several years, but once he left the Fallen Devil Valley not long after, he was seated on his own. I don’t know whether it was an old injury that recurred, or whether it was another serious injury in the Fallen Devil Valley, but he should have brought out a lot of treasures from the Fallen Devil Valley. Can let this year’s first loose cultivator are interested in the treasures, certainly non-trivial, and this year only rely on the identity of the loose cultivator, can be so forceful group cultivation, its own secret skills and treasures, is also something extraordinary. This trip to Mulan grassland, a few people really willing to not go?” Nan Long Hou twisted his long beard, his face unchanged, said.
”And if we are traveling with multiple infant cultivators like this, how can an ordinary Fa Shi hold us back. Moreover, is really encountered what accident, the big deal is that each split up to break out is. If you are still unwilling to take this risk, then I will ask those who are unwilling to go to go at their own leisure, and the two of us will find someone else to go with us.” The white-shirted old man also added without moving his face.
Hearing the words of the Nanlong Hou and the white-shirted old man, Wang Tiangu, the old woman, and several other cultivators appeared hesitant. But at this time, Han Li opened his mouth and asked, “Mister Han has a bit of confusion, since the two of you know where the treasure is located, why do you have to specially convene us to come here, but also have to be a person with a strong sense of God to be able to do so. Could it be that this place is not good for searching, or what is the relationship between the opening of the cave and this.” Han Li calmly, uttered the words that his heart had been wondering for a long time.
”Fellow Daoist Han did not ask this question, in fact, this Hou also intends to explain it in a moment. If the two of us could take the treasure alone, we naturally wouldn’t let others share it. But last time, we quietly sneak into the Mulan grassland to look for that cave, although the place is very secretive, but still in accordance with the Cang Kun Shangren’s legacy of information, broke a lot of effort to find. But the trouble is, this cave outside of the actually has a very wonderful ancient spell formation, I two people have exhausted the effort, but also can not break the ban and enter. Because in the Mulan grassland, I two can not dare to stay long, had to write down the characteristics of this array, back to the south of the sky, specializing in searching for a variety of array books, research that ancient array. As a result, we finally realized that the forbidden system released by this formation is actually the ancient long lost ‘Tai Miao Divine Forbidden’.” Marquis Nan Long said here, a trace of helplessness showing on his face.
”Too Wonderful Divine Forbidden! Isn’t this a prohibition among the ten ancient prohibitions? How could it appear there?” Wang Tian Gu’s face changed, a little surprised.
Most of the others had never heard of the title “Tai Miao Divine Forbidden”, but after hearing these words, their hearts were also aghast. Ten Ancient Prohibitions! Just by hearing this name, one would know that it was by no means something that was easy to break.
Han Li’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but then it was hidden and he looked as normal.
”I’ve long heard that Brother Wang is a renowned formation expert, and now I see that his name is true, he even knows about this kind of rare ancient forbidden system!” Marquis Nanlong was also a bit surprised, and after exchanging glances with the white-shirted old man, he praised him repeatedly with a smile on his face.
”Brother Nanlong has spoken too much, I have only heard of the name, the specific how to break the prohibition, I don’t know anything about it.” Wang Tian Gu seemed to realize something and immediately humbled himself politely.
Seeing this, the white-shirted old man smiled in a rare way, and then said under his breath, “The two of us have been studying for several years before we found out that if we want to break this prohibition, we can either use brute force little by little to wear it down to forcefully break the prohibition, or we can look for the eight cultivators with strong divine sense, and use the divine sense to transform the divine power to solve the prohibition as well. Forced to break the ban certainly can not, this ancient forbidden system is fantastic exception, that is, the two of us day and night wildly attack this array for several months, not necessarily sure to open, and in the Mulan grassland, how dare the two of us unscrupulous display of magical powers! However, if we use our divine sense incarnate to break this prohibition, as long as all of you Daoists have strong enough divine sense, we can break the formation in a day.”
Hearing this, it was only then that all the people in the hall understood why the Nanlong Hou duo had sought out a few of them.
Perhaps other mid YuanYing cultivators, whose divine sense was strong enough, could likewise cooperate to break that forbidden system, but the two of them obviously did not want overly powerful cultivators to join them for fear of something backfiring. After all, both of them are YuanYing middle stage cultivators, two people can not say that if they join hands to win Han Li and a few others, but can also maintain a skillful balance, he two people also counted painstakingly.
However, in the face of the treasures brought out in the Valley of the Devil’s Fall, including Han Li, including the hall of cultivators, naturally, one by one, they are moved.
Going to the edge of the Mulan Grasslands was a bit risky, but like the white-shirted old man said, those risks were insignificant compared to these treasures. Such an opportunity, other cultivators would definitely not be able to beg for it, so the people had secretly planned it in their hearts.
And after Nan Long Hou asked a few questions and saw that no one had withdrawn, a genuine smile appeared on his face.
”But there is one thing that should be made clear with a few people first. If everything goes well, really entered the cave, inside the treasure I two people to first one person to pick a piece before, the rest can be divided equally, a few friends have no opinion, right?” Nan Long Hou put forward his own conditions.
